to be honest most thirty somethings now aren't even married and have roommates

The 80's, the age of the Yuppy. It was also the age when television was still worthwhile.

haha I remember my mom watching this show and me hating it to the point of leaving the room AND I LOVED TV! I'm 31 now, no kid, not married, I rent a room in a house with other guys. This show is totally unrealistic for 2012. It's funny the only part of the intro I vaguely remember is the guy hanging himself with his tie.

I used to watch this show when I was a teenager. I so wanted to grow up and be like these people.

Wow...this brings back memories...watched the first episode while pregnant with my son, who is now almost 24, and continued to watch it until it was cancelled in '91. I loved it when this theme came on, because it meant it was time for me to settle down and curl up after a long day!

@EJES2000 Ethan was the son of Elliot and Nancy (Timothy Busfield and Patricia Wettig).

@illuminatioracle Because companies pay hunger salaries that don't allow full independence.

I love this piece of music.

Funny, I don't care for the "extended" version so much. It lacks those cleanly-heard, "clock-ticking" strings near the end. I was in my early-through-mid-thirties when this show was on, and just hearing the opener was always therapeutic.

Anybody know what THIS particular version is called? The theme music was changed, slightly, every few seasons--they also didn't make this incredible piece, by itself, available to the public for a long time.

We really gotta check ourselves if a theme song from a TV show is pretty much better than most music you hear today. and im not talking about pop music. also the so called quality music dont come close to this. its not about being young and old. its music - listen to the musicians to the quality of recording, to the sweet melody. where did melodies go?

damn it....

I just remember Al Bundy always ripping on Thirtysomething

[MsHaleywood]

I was a teenager when this came out - yet I understood good writing and programming. I also visualized myself in the roles a 'long long time' down the road (or so I thought). This was an excellent show, until they killed off Peter. Nevertheless, brings back awesome memories
